The correct answer is 31.
Solution:
Consider the given equation.
+ 2 = 41 – 8
To determine the missing number, first, we need to find: 41 – 8.
Which gives:
41 - 8 = 33
Then,
+ 2 = 41 – 8
+ 2 = 33
Next, to find the missing number we find: 33 – 2.
Which gives:
33 – 2 = 31
So,
31 + 2 = 41 – 8
That is, number 31 makes the equation true.
